Autumn Toms is a third-year Earth and Atmospheric Science major with an interest in meteorology. In the past year, she worked with Dr. Lynch-Stieglitz’s lab group to determine changes in the southeast Atlantic oxygen minimum zone during the last glacial maximum. She now researches with GTRI’s Severe Storms Research Center to determine how the peak rotational velocity from radar of tornadoes in the southeast United States compares to the recorded EF rating.
Thomas Silas is a fourth-year Earth and Atmospheric Science undergraduate student with a concentration in meteorology, graduating in spring 2022. His main research interests are synoptic and mesoscale meteorology, particularly severe thunderstorms. Thomas worked with Dr. Zachary Handlos on a project investigating a 2010 East Pacific jet stream superposition event and presented this research at the AMS Student Conference poster session, where he was selected as a recipient of the Undergraduate Outstanding Student Conference Poster Award.
Ella Stewart is a third year BS/MS student in EAS, focusing her coursework on environmental science. She conducts research with Dr. Winnie Chu, where they use radar observations of marine-ending glaciers to study the ice sheet-to-ice shelf transition. Recently, they joined forces with Dr.
Sara Delawalla is a third year EAS major and CS minor, focusing on oceanography. She conducts research with Dr. Takamitsu Ito on Southern Ocean nutrient cycles and their relationship to biological activity. This past summer, she interned at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, imaging and analyzing atmospheric data collected by the ICESat-2 satellite. She is also the Vice President of Operations of Georgia Tech’s chapter of Sigma Sigma Rho Sorority Inc.
Paige Wise is a fourth year EAS major, conducting research in aqueous geochemistry with Dr. Yuanzhi Tang's lab group. In the fall of 2021, she was able to give a poster presentation on rare earth element adsorption to clay minerals at both the American Chemical Society and Geological Society of America conferences. Paige is the president of Sigma Gamma Epsilon (EAS geological honor society) and has been awarded the Martin L.
Charlotte Carl is a third-year EAS major concentrating in meteorology on the business plan. She is involved in research with the Severe Storms Center (a group within GTRI) where she researches lightning. Charlotte is a teaching assistant for Earth Processes (EAS 2600) under Dr. Naif and also was a teaching assistant under Dr. Handlos over the summer for How to Build a Habitable Planet (EAS 1601). Upon her graduation in Fall of 2022, she hopes to pursue a masters degree in broadcast meteorology. Her career goals include bringing innovation to the field of broadcast meteorology.
Susan is a first generation, Peruvian-American senior Earth and Atmospheric Sciences undergraduate student graduating later this month. She transferred into Georgia Tech with her Associates in Geology from Georgia Highlands College in 2019. Throughout her studies at GT, Susan has concentrated her studies in planetary sciences. During her time at Georgia Tech, she has been an involved part of the student body. Susan has worked as a teaching assistant for EAS 1601 (How to Build a Habitable Planet),
Ethan Losasso is an Earth and Atmospheric Sciences undergraduate student with interests in geophysics and environmental science, planning to graduate in Spring of 2023. Last semester, he began research with Dr. Andrew Newman with the goal of developing a tool that uses Python code to produce interactive bathymetric maps of the area around the Puerto Rico trench, which can then be analyzed to produce slip models for normal faulting events in the outer rise, which are useful for evaluating tsunami generation potential.
Kiera Tran is a senior in Earth and Atmospheric Science major. She started with a Business major but ended up pursuing her passion toward Earth Science with concentration Oceanography and Climate concentration. She has been conducting research with Dr. Winnie Chu and her graduate student Angelo Tarzona which will be presented in 2021 AGU Fall Meeting.
Samantha Motz is an Earth & Atmospheric Science undergraduate concentrating on geophysics with a plan to graduate in Fall of 2022. This semester she is beginning research under the guidance of Dr. Karl Lang in the TECHtonics group using detrital zircon geochronology to analyze the provenance of sediment from the ancestral Colorado River. This past summer, Samantha participated in UNAVCO'S RESESS program in which she performed research under the guidance of Dr. Kamini Singha at the Colorado School of Mines.
